Hey Guys,
I was wondering if you recommend attaching a partitioned drive to VMWare or just creating a virtual drive to boot up Server 2008/XP as a guest with Ubuntu 9.10 as a host.

Thanks 
David

I run Win XP MCE in a headless virtualbox and access it via VRDP. I'm
always a fan of using files whenever possible (Just found out that
there's no performance hit when using a file as swap) because you can
just scp them to a new machine without any additional setup.
